  1. I did rotate them for some reason they didn't show up that way but I posted them. Oh well. The colors really look great and I can't wait for this ride once it's done! Thanks for posting. Sorry these guys are acting so immature. I wish we can be serious and focus on a more serious matter. Anyway, can anyone confirm the rumor that Snake River falls was originally designed with a cobra roll but the State of Ohio would not approve? Roller coasters. srs bsns.
  2. It appears that the supports for the loop need to be positioned before Voyage, which is the only criteria there.
  3. I would hope so, but they really did leave the area around the spaghetti bowl on Voyage decently bare, so we'll see.
  4. Can confirm, am the vertical loop that didn't get installed. I was installed in Full Throttle instead.
  5. Yikes, I certainly hope it's not that bad this weekend. I don't really have choice, as I'm visiting from out of town, but I'm planning on arriving early to beat any lines. Not crazy about the cool weather either, so I won't be staying after sundown. Is there early entry for Membership holders? Only for Discover cardholders.
  6. It just started raining here again. Don't expect much today. The forecast looks fine for the rest of the day, no need to be so melodramatic.
  7. "Ahh crap it's starting to rain. Quick, get inside! Just leave that piece of track hanging there, it'll be cool. It weighs enough."
  8. There were no changes to the layout. Dan got somebody that used to be on Holiday World's maintenance team to re-track the ride. All they really did is just replace the top two layers, which sorta has me worried since the ride has been sitting for so long. You'd think a complete re-track would have been ideal, given how long the ride has been out of operation. I guess we'll find out how well the ride holds up! Well think of it, that's almost ideal. When a ride is operational you have a multi-ton train bashing into the track nearly continually. When it's SBNO there are no extreme external forces to damage the ride.
  9. I went to CP on the first Saturday of Halloweekends this year. The entire overflow was full. There were thousands of people waiting in line.
  10. Aww yeah, that's the kind of thing I like to hear! The Beast was riding good in the beginning of summer, too. It's been a good 35 years so far.
  11. At the same time it could all be a hoax. Meaning, it's generating buzz perhaps in the exact way they want it to. Watching the video it really still screams 'advertising tactic' to me. I'm sure there's a lot of people thinking, "Holy crap, I gotta try this."
  12. Awesome stuff! I was there the last week the bumper boats and bumper tag was there. That was also my first trip to the park, and it feels very special. I can't wait for a return trip next year to see Impulse.
  13. Thank you very much for getting the second webcam pushed through. There really is no greater way to build anticipation for a new attraction than using live feeds.
  14. With construction cameras I guess everyone is a project manager.
  15. I'd imagine the announcement will be sometime in the late November/December time frame like it has in the past. They talk about how lodging revenue is up. Whenever I'm in Coopersville for work I always stay in Muskegon to boost those numbers. I would love to think that maybe me staying there every other week for 9 months would somehow push MIA over the top and get something good for next year.
  16. I really only hold on when I'm in PTC trains. My lower back really starts to hurt after a couple rides with my hands up. Holding on supports my lower back just enough that I can continue riding all day. On Maverick I hold on only because I don't want my forearms getting bashed up.
  17. Has anyone been to the park recently to see the construction? I'm interested to see how far they are.
  18. It's amazing how awful that one particular trim is. Really, it's the only one I absolutely despise myself. I dislike most of the others but the thought of Sleeping Bull leaves a sour taste in my mouth because I only think about that brake.
  19. The only ride that's worse is for me is Anaconda. To me it seems like these sister parks needs to make a change at some point.
  20. Fun fact: There is no confirmation that the coaster is being removed from Cedar Point, it could very well be that floorless conversion that many are discussing about. And, if that does happen, it will still be the first B&M that cannot ever be ridden again. Think about it: B&M built a particular standup roller coaster at Cedar Point. Will you ever be able to ride that ride again? It's sort of a special situation that us coaster nerds should recognise. I mean, they've built over 96 roller coasters since 1991 and this is the first that something is actually happening to? Wikipedia doesn't even have a 'Closed' tab next to the 'Opened Year' tab because it doesn't need it. That's an amazing record of installations! Does Iron Wolf aka Apocalypse at SFA formerly from SFGrAm ring any bells?? Can you still ride the B&M standup formerly named Iron Wolf?

  22. Fun fact: Mantis is going to be the first B&M ever to be closed for good. Or... Mantis could possibly be moving to another park. My bets are on Michigan's Adventure.
  23. Hmm, I wonder what the station rhyme is going to be for Thunderbird. Throughout the year I'm always humming to myself, "People come from far and wide to laugh and scream on the Pilgrim's pride. Now it's time to sail away, your voyage begins without delay."
  24. Is anyone planning on being at the park on Saturday? I'm looking to meet up with anyone and hit up the water coasters at some point, too. It's always good meeting new TPR people.
